DANIEL S. VING, OF SYRACUSE, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-EIGHTI-I TO YILLIAM A.. CAMERON, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.

BAG-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,807, dated May 10, 1887.V

Application filed October 14, IEG. Serial No. 216,277. (No model.)

T all whom, it may concern:

Beit known that I, DANIEL S. VING, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bag-Holders, of which the following' is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a bag-holder which can be readily applied for :o use and operated. rlhis object is accomplished by means of the devices set forth in the annexed specification and claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis aside elevation, partly in section,

of a bagholder embodying' my invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of a portion of the bagholder. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a clamp used to attach the device.

Similar letters indicate correspondingparts. The bag-holder is shown in the drawings as applied to a truck or vehicle; but of course such bag-holder may be otherwise appliedas, for example, to a bin, a barn, or the like.

The letter A indicates a side bar of a truck or vehicle. The wheels G of the vehicle may be mounted in pivoted legs G2, so that, il' desired the truck or vehicle may be firmly set on the ground, as seen in Fig. l. Suitable 3.) hand1es,V,may also be applied to the vehicle, if desired. C C2 C3 are cross-bars of the vehielc.

To the cross-bars C C2 is shown attached a base-plate, K, by means of a screw, N, and a 5 clamp, L. Asuitable clamping-screw, M, prevents dislocation of the clamp L. A rack, J, is supported by the base-plate K, as hereinafter explained, and to said rack is hinged,by a pivot, E, an arm, H, carrying a dog, B, piv- 40 oted as at D and adapted to Vengage the rack.

In the example shown in the drawings the base-plate K is provided with lugs P I), in which turn the pivots F F of the rack J. The pivots F allow the rack J, together with the arm H and hopper I, to be swung laterally to any desired position. Vhen it is desired to 5o swing toward the truck.

swung so as to lie snugly alongside ofthe arm H, and thus be out of the way.

The hopperI is suitably attached-ms, Vfor example, by a pivot or hinge, Oto the arm H. A flange, WV, across part of the upper edge of the hopper strengthens the hopper and also serves as a guard to prevent spilling of any material fed through the hopper. W'hen the hopper I is swung from the position indicated in Fig. l by dotted lines to the po- 6o sition shown in full lines, said hopper swings against a segmental band, Q, forming a iixed and permanent part of the outer end of the arm H. Between said band Q and hopper I may be clamped the edge of a bag, S.

To the band Qis attached one end of a wire rope or chain, It. The other end of the rope or chain It is provided with a catch, vT, adapted to engage one or more teeth or lugs,

U U, onithe band Q. Vhen said catch Tis 7C connected to the teeth or one of the teeth U, said band Q and rope or chain B may encircle the mouth of a bag, S, thus holding the bag firmly to the hopper I as long as desired. Vhen not in use, the ileXibility ofthe wire rope or chain R will allow the same to hang down out of the way, as seen in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

The friction in the bearings ofthe rack J is sufficient to prevent spontaneous lateral So swinging of the arm H.

Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination, in a bag-holder, ofthe base-plate K, having the clamp L, for attachs 5 ing` it to a support, a rack, J, supported at itsends by the base-plate, the arm H, pivoted to the rack, and the dog B, substantially as described.

2. rlhe combination, in a bag-holder, ofthe 9o base-plate K, having the clamp L, for attaching it to a support, a rack, J, pivoted at its ends in said base-plate, the arm H, pivoted to the rack,and the dog B, substantially as described.

3. The combination, in a bag-holder, ofthe base-plate K, having at one end the clamp L and at the other end the screw N, a rack, J, supported at its ends by said base-plate, the pivoted arm H, and the dog B, substantially as described. roo

4. The combination, in a bag-holder, of the I rack, and the dog B, pivoted to the'arm, subbase-plate K, having end lugs, P, the rack J, having end pivots, F, arranged in said lugs, the arm H, pivoted to the rack, and 'thedog 5 B, substantially as described.

- 5. The combination, in a bag-holder, of the base-plate K, having end lugs, I?, and provided at its upper end with a clamp, L M, the rack J, having end pivots, F, arranged in said lugs, to the arm H, pivoted to the upper end of the stantially as described.

. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
